The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is requesting bids for: Rigging Hydraulic Cylinders at Lake White State Park Dam Ordering Division and address: Lake White State Park Dam, 11291 St. Rt. 104 Waverly, OH 45690 Specifications

1. Introduction This Scope of Work (SOW) document outlines the requirements for the rigging, installation, and removal of hydraulic cylinders at the Lake White State Park Dam. The work includes the removal of existing cylinders, installation of new hydraulic cylinders, and coordination of traffic control to ensure safe and efficient operation if rigging is done from State highway 104. If this method is chosen, ODOT will need to be notified.

2. Project Overview The project involves the replacement of (4) hydraulic cylinders at Lake White State Park Dam, which is essential for maintaining the operation and safety of the dam's gate control system. The work will require precise rigging and careful handling of the cylinders to avoid damage to the dam structure and surrounding equipment. Additionally, traffic control measures may be necessary if cylinders are needed to be rigged from the state highway. If this is deemed necessary, ODOT will need to be notified as well.

· Verification of existing cylinder connections, access points, and any potential hazards before removal.

· Rigging:

· Properly secure and rig the existing (4) cylinders using safe and effective rigging techniques, ensuring no damage to the dam structure, cylinders, or surrounding equipment.

· Ensure lifting equipment (e.g., cranes, hoists, etc.) is appropriately rated for the weight and size of the cylinders.

· Removal:

· Remove existing (4) cylinders without causing any damage to the surrounding infrastructure.

· Ensure that removed cylinders are carefully lowered, inspected, and prepared for either disposal or storage as per the client’s instructions.

3.2 Installation of New Hydraulic Cylinders

· Preparation:

· Inspection and confirmation of new hydraulic cylinders' specifications, alignment, and fitment requirements before installation.

· Verification of all necessary equipment and components, including seals, mounting hardware, and hydraulic connections.

· Installation:

· Rigging and carefully lifting the (4) new cylinders into position.

· Secure the new cylinders to the mounting brackets and connections per manufacturer guidelines and dam operational standards.

· Make necessary hydraulic and mechanical connections, ensuring proper alignment and tightness.

· Testing and Commissioning:

· Conduct functional tests to ensure proper operation of the new hydraulic cylinders.

3.3 Traffic Control and Site Safety if deemed necessary to rig off the Highway

· Traffic Control Plan:

· Develop and implement a traffic control plan to manage vehicle and pedestrian traffic around the worksite to ensure safety for workers and the public.

· Coordinate with local authorities, if required, to obtain necessary permits or approvals for road closures, detours, or other traffic management measures.

· Traffic Control Measures:

· Placement of appropriate signs, cones, barricades, flaggers, or other traffic control devices to manage and direct traffic around the worksite.

· Ensure that all traffic control measures comply with local and state regulations.

· Safety Protocols:

· Provide appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for all workers involved in the rigging, installation, and removal of cylinders.

· Implement job safety analysis (JSA) procedures to identify and mitigate potential risks, including falls, crane operations, and lifting hazards.

· Provide a site-specific safety plan that adheres to OSHA standards.

3.4 Clean-Up and Demobilization

· Upon completion of the work, remove all equipment, tools, and debris from the worksite.

· Ensure the area is restored to its original or better condition and that all traffic control measures are dismantled.
